    Runaway Mavic 3 Cine

    Ignoring legality, do you fly over other people houses in suburban or built up areas?

    RTH accuracy MM, Mini 2, Mini SE, what do you think your average accuracy is?

    The vision sensors on the mini arent cameras. They look for a good landing spot, but not the exact spot you took off from.

    [Poll] The Homepoint has been updated, do you check it on the map?

    Rth behavior, yes that's it. It's a 20 m circle around the hp. Page 15 or 16 in the manuel.
